LibriVox recording of The Jeffersonians, 1801-1829 by Richard B. Morris.
Read in English by Ciufi Galeazzi.
In this short (58 page) work, Morris and Woodress present a selection of fascinating source materials to survey key events which occurred during the presidencies of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams. As the authors state in their preface, "The early part of the last century was an exciting time to live in America. The signers of the Declaration of Independence and the framers of the Constitution, mostly old men by now, saw that their experiment in republican government had turned out to be a success. The nation was flourishing in these years like a healthy adolescent. There were growing pains, to be sure, but no one doubted now that the youngster would reach manhood. The question was: What is he going to be like?" - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi.

Subject: Excellent Short History!
Subject: Excellent Short History!
This is a superb little history book, bringing many facts to light I had not heard about--the intense rivalry, how Jefferson almost didn't get elected, almost didn't buy Louisiana Purchase, almost didn't get Lewis and Clark's journey off the ground, about Hamilton's duel and that by first hand accounts, he didn't die until the next day and didn't even fire his gun (despite the play Hamilton, where he did both). Ciufi did a marvelous job reading it as well. I listened non-stop for the whole 2.5 hours, and listened again to some parts. This book would be a great tool for high school history teachers!
